Tag: Bill Cosby Sentencing

Bill Cosby looked despondent in a mew mugshot photo that was taken at a jail near the Montgomery County courthouse in Philadelphia where he was sentenced to 3-10 years in prison.

The 81-year-old was convicted of three counts of drugging and molesting a former Temple University staffer at his home in 2004.
Cosby will spend the next 3 years at a state medical prison facility. He must serve at least 75% of the minimum 3 year sentence before he is eligible for release.

The comedian was reportedly served vanilla pudding on his first evening behind bars, according to The Blast. Cosby was a spokesman for Jell-O brand pudding for many years.

In addition to pudding, Cosby was fed a meal that consisted of a chicken patty with gravy, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and an iced tea juice packet.

His menu will be upgraded when he is moved from jail to a state prison medical facility in Pennsylvania. Cosby is legally blind and he is reportedly in poor health.

60 women came forward to accuse the comedian of drugging and sexually assaulting them over 4 decades.

Bill Cosby arrived at the Montgomery County Courthouse on Monday for a two day sentencing hearing that will decide whether he goes home on probation or spends the rest of his life in prison.

The 81-year-old comedian appeared stoic as he entered the courthouse in Norristown surrounded by police officers.

Cosby was convicted of drugging and indecently assaulting Andrea Constand in his home in 2004. More than 60 women have accused Cosby of drugging assaulting them over 4 decades.

The first day of the sentencing hearing will focus on whether Cosby should be classified as a violent sex offender. He will be sentenced on the second day of the hearing.

Constand (the initial accuser) tweeted a Bible verse ahead of the hearing:

“Be wrathful, but do not sin; do not let the sun set while you are still angry; do not give the Devil an opportunity.”

Cosby’s wife Camille Cosby remains supportive of him. In an earlier statement she accused the judge of being biased against her husband.

“Bill Cosby was not afforded an impartial judge and he did not receive a fair trial,” she said. “Instead, my husband was forced to go to trial before a judge, Steven T. O’Neill, who had a bitter, longstanding feud with one of the key witnesses in the case, Bruce Castor.”
